Current Service Information Model UML Documentation: ONAP Service 2017-11-08.docx
the comparision table among ECOMP IM, SDC IM, ETSI NFV IFA, A&AI as below:
ServiceDesc (ServiceCatalogItem) (Note from Chesla:
A&AI has a model/model-ver concept which captures the descriptor from ASDC. The model vertex type contains the model-invariant-id and the model-type (e.g., service or resource). The model-ver vertex type contains the model-version-id, the model-version, the model-name, and a model-description.
In short, A&AI split the invariant part of the model away from the version-dependent pieces. In this manner, you can relate ALL versions of a model to something by using the model-invariant-id (e.g., get me all the resources for this model) or you can relate a specific version of a model (e.g., get me all resources for this version of the model) by using the model-version-id in combination with the model-invariant-id. Recall that A&AI stores the model/model-ver elements as "JOIN" keys to the SDC descriptor world. A&AI does not try to capture all the details of the models.
It's not clear whether you can equate model-name to service-name or model-description to service-description. The model-name really names the MODEL, not necessarily the service. The same applies to the service-description.
ALSO NOTE as referenced on a prior wiki page: The A&AI service vertex type is deprecated and should not be used in ONAP.
11/28/2017 - There has been a serviceType and serviceRole field added to the service-instance vertex type. These fields should have a data steward and governance around a set of enumerated values. The values themselves should be set in the SDC models - copying them to the service instances is a denormalization. In general we think that entities modeled in SDC should have a consistent usage around the terms "type", "role", and "function". Type is the broadest classification of the entity. Role is the role played by the entity within the type. For example, if we were discussing network function type (nfType) and it had a value of ROUTER, a network function role (nfRole) could be CE (for customer edge). Function is the purpose of the entity within its type and role. For example, for that same network function, the nfFunction could be ADioD Customer Edge Router. Similarly within service instance, a service type could be TRANSPORT. A service role could be MIS VPN. Service type in other places (the service and service-subscription vertex types) in the AAI data model ARE deprecated.

ServiceCatalogItem vs ServiceComponentCatalogItem
ServiceInstance vs ServiceComponentInstance
In the current Ecomp IM ONAP Service 2017-11-08.docx, Service and ServiceComponent classes are defined either at run and design time (i.e ServiceComponentDesc/ServiceComponentCatalogItem, ServiceComponentInstance, ServiceInstance, ServiceDesc/ServiceCatalogItem) even if no attribute is defined (to be added).
According to tables above, both SDC and A&AI do not differ Service and ServiceComponent.
Do we need to split a Service as an aggregation of ServiceComponent in the IM? Considering that a Service may be also a composition of Services as well.
